nternational Competition in Advanced Technology: Decisions for America
- Share to:
A central new policy concern—international trade and competitiveness in advanced technology—is asserting itself in the United States and in each of its closest allies and trading partners. This concern is likely to remain in the forefront of American debates for many years because of its ongoing importance in questions of national security and national economic prosperity. In the United States, this concern is accentuated by forces that are affecting the competitiveness of American advanced technology, both within our own vast economy and in world trade. Some shortcomings of our own and concerted actions on the part of other nations are both involved. Leaders in all of the world's most technologically advanced democratic nations are beginning to focus urgent attention on their nations' abilities to marshal their innovative capacities. All appreciate the need for prompt responses to the problems besetting the extensions of advanced technology. They also know that those responses must reflect the increasingly close interrelationships among nations that are, simultaneously, allies, partners, and competitors. Hence, any responses must take into account extremely complex interrelated factors—social and economic and political as well as technical. Given the urgency and complexity of the issues, it was essential for the organization representing the American scientific and technical community, with the special charge of aiding national policy deliberations, to organize intensive studies of the situation in international technological competition as a contribution to the wider multinational debate that has been building up for several years
